2001 Program and Abstracts

Fourth International Congress on Peer Review in Biomedical Publication

JAMA and the BMJ Publishing Group welcome you to Barcelona and the Fourth International Congress on Peer Review in Biomedical Publication. This Congress follows the 3 highly successful International Congresses on Peer Review in Biomedical Publication held in 1989 and 1993 in Chicago and in 1997 in Prague. The program appears below. As before, we will have 3 days for presentations from the podium, including 41 presentations of new research into peer review and all aspects of scientific publication. Each of these presentations will be followed by equal time for discussion and questions from the audience. In addition, there are 65 poster presentations scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. We hope you will take an active part in the program as we depend on you to make this Congress even more successful than the previous 3 Congresses. We wish to thank Ediciones Doyma for assistance with local arrangements as well as the Congress sponsors, exhibitors, and advertisers. Enjoy the Congress and enjoy Barcelona!
